3:02 am
i feel like this is children's furniture. >>gretchen: i like this sofa. my legs finally reach the bottom after seven years. >>brian: and it's clean. >>gretchen: relatively speaking. the febreze comes out in the commercial break. peter is in with us today as well. let's get to that fox news alert. a standoff ending in the hostage and one of the gunmen dead. >> a lot happening in a story overnight. this morning police identifying the gunman as fuaed abdu ahmed. around 1:00 eastern time they shot and killed the 20-year-old after they stormed a bank in st. joseph where he was holding two people hostage for about 13 hours. as swat teams entered the suspect shot both hostages in the chest, and one of them has died. at this hour the other is in critical condition at the hospital. authorities say that ahmed

3:06 am
those are your headlines. i think she was saying hi to you, peter. >>peter: remarkable girl. she has gone through two operations. she will be going through at least one more. she's been making great progress. we all love you, sarah, here at "fox & friends," and america does too. a great family and great story. >>brian: if she's making this type of progress, she'll be back in school in september? >>peter: i'm not sure. she's had a tough road. she fought back five different times and she will flourish. >>brian: six minutes after the top of the hour. obamacare is in the midst of another delay. even though it was posted on the labor department since february, another delay. you know what the president said when he passed obamacare? because you have a catastrophic disease you shouldn't go bankrupt, that
3:07 am
means you have to limit out-of-pocket expenses, $6,000 per person, 12,000 per family. now they say insurance can't handle that, finances don't add up so they're allowing them another year to get their house in order and another delay for obamacare. even according to one senior administration official the delays have been a disaster. >>gretchen: insurance have had three years to upgrade their computer systems. that is the excuse being given now, they simply don't have their computer systems ready to handle it. i find that kind of hard to believe because it is just a numbers game. let's say the cap was 8,000, now it is going to 6,000. what is the big deal? that is the excuse given. what does that mean for you? you're going to pay more for 2014 that this new cap would noting into effect until 2015. >>peter: for a lot of americans including me, it sounds like bull, nonsense,
3:08 am
spin. dr. ben carson, a great neurosurgeon who had an opportunity to look at obamacare carefully for a little while at least went on the record last night and this is how he saw what's going on. >> the insurance companies kind of figured that obama wasn't going to get reelected. they were shocked and then they kind of figured that maybe the supreme court certainly wouldn't uphold this, and then they did. and they're kind of caught with their pants down in this situation. but honestly, we're all caught with our pants down. we're all going to suffer the consequences of this. we keep delaying things. why don't we just delay the whole bill permanently and come up with a real solution that really is affordable and that will take care of everybody. i'm sure we can do that. i've talked to a lot of people with a lot of extraordinarily good ideas. and if we didn't make it into a political football, we americans, we're capable of solving problems if we really want to. >>gretchen: the other delays we can argue have
3:09 am
been political potentially because we have mid term elections coming up, and many of the democrats who are up for election, reelection are like, my goodness, this obamacare thing might kill me, might kill my chances. some of these delays you could argue were to benefit democrats in reelection. but this one it seems to me, wouldn't it have been a benefit to push this through because it would have been lower costs to consumers. >>peter: this is a burden on the democrats in terms of running for rye election -- reelection and taking the senate and keeping control in washington this will hit americans' pocketbooks all of us, paying more out of pocket. that is hard dollars we have to pay after taxes. >>brian: it is amazing that corporate america is saying the president can't possibly win with his unpopularity leading into last year, can't win without obamacare being unworkable and unimplementable. but the fact is he did. i would say this, it might help the individual to have
3:10 am
less out-of-pocket expenses, but when it comes to contributing to a democratic party, insurance companies love the delay. everybody loves the delay. and the less you talk about obamacare, which is now 47% of the country does not want, i think the better off democratic candidates are in the big picture. if you do this and insurance companies aren't happy, they might react by kicking people off or raise up the deductible. if you don't do anything things stay the way they are and stays out of the political fray. i wonder if the president is doing this to make sure he gets a shot at the house and keeps the senate or is he president doing this because computers aren't ready yet. because computers aren't ready yet is the excuse you use in today's day and age like my dog ate my homework. did you log on? let's talk about lois lerner. that poor woman has been out of a job and still getting paid. how does that work? >>gretchen: now it turns out that darrell issa in
3:11 am
charge of the oversight committee investigating this, that he seems to have found out that quite possibly lois lerner was using her personal e-mail for public business. in other words, i.r.s. business. she was using it, an account on an msn.com account entitled lois home and now darrell issa wants to be able to see all of those e-mails. we may have another part of testimony from lois lerner. >>peter: government employees using personal e-mails or text messages to conduct official business is a big no-no and a big red signal to prosecutors and others what was going on, what was doing. why were they so-called off-line and not on the government computers? >>brian: so lois lerner, they're going to try to get her personal account. but the woman who brought us the fifth amendment will also find a way to skirt around this. another interesting thing,
3:12 am
the i.r.s. has a new focus, targeting small business, including mom and pop organizations who they feel are not paying enough taxes. if the small business has their back against the wall any way saying is this worth it, 20,000 letters went out in the first wave looking to find out if everyone is on the up and up including the person who owns the candy store down the street. >>peter: basically saying we're watching you really closely, that you shouldn't sleep at night. >>gretchen: if you think this is going to go away now, karl rove had these thoughts about the scandal getting even bigger. >> this did not happen because of people at the bottom of the food chain. we know this goes all the way up to the office of general counsel. there are two people in the i.r.s. out of 60,000 appointed by the president. one of them is the general counsel of the i.r.s., and we now know that his office was involved in personally taking away a nearly 50-year kphraoe of the i.r.s. -- 50 year kphraoe of

kphraoe -- employee of the i.r.s. we know more than we did before. i talked to members of congress involved in this investigation. they feel very confident they are patiently working their way up and i suspect in september and october we're going to see additional revelations that are going to trouble the american people. >>brian: i tell you what troubles me, way too many plants. i was focused on the plants and not enough on karl rove. next on our show, he was plotting to blow up his high school and now he's voting for mayor and people actually voted for him. >>gretchen: need to see a doctor? you may have company on your next visit. can you say a group visit? charles, i can think of a couple tests i don't want to be doing any group visits with. golden opportunity sales event and choose from one of five lexus hybrids that's right for you, including the lexus es and ct hybrids. ♪

>>peter: welcome back. do you need to see a doctor? well, you may have company on your very next visit. since 2005 doctors offering group visits -- group visits -- has more than doubled to 13% in 2010. and with 30 million uninsured americans joining the health care system, is less one on one time with your doctors going to be the new future under obamacare? joining us now from the fox business network, charles payne. charles, has going to the doctor become group therapy? are people sitting around in underwear talking about their problems? >> you don't have to bend over and cough but it is group therapy and more. but here's the thing, the good news. maybe they can make obamacare work. i don't know how comfortable you might be in a room with about 12 other people and a doc walks in and says, guys, let's talk about that rash. >>peter: we can talk about rashes, i trust you,
3:18 am
charles. what does this mean? seriously, people will go into a room and discuss their specific medical problems with one physician in front of other people that have different medical problems. so everybody hears about everybody's stuff. >> and then they try to boil it down so everyone again with that same rash, we all get in a room together with a doctor instead of bringing us in one on one to explain you're going to do this, take that and this is what you should do to prevent it in the future, he or she will do that with the entire tkpwraoufplt here's the -- entire group. here's the problem. everyone has to sign a confidentiality treatment. you're going to dump 30 million people into a system that has a doctor shortage and this is one of the gimmicks to make up for it. >>peter: one of the things obamacare didn't cure was a doctor shortage. 16,000 today, predicted in 2015 we'll be short by
3:19 am
63,000. and by 2025, 12 years from now, short 130,000 physicians in this country. >> these numbers, i think, are probably underscoring what is going to happen. you and i know a lot of doctors are saying i want to opt out of this thing completely. i'll take cash. the best doctors will be able to command cash paeupls from -- cash payments from well-off patients. those numbers are probably going to be significantly higher. the gimmicks will be group therapy. the gimmicks will be i can't see you but my nurse has been with me a long time. she's equally qualified. >>peter: i'm glad you brought this to our attention. you can bring more things to our attention at 9:20 when you're filling in for stuart varney on varney and company. >> tune in. a huge year for the stock market. >>peter: many of you tweeted us yesterday about stop and frisk.

mayor of san diego. one of the restaurants putting up a sign telling the mayor to stay out. he has refused to resign and has abused women. >>brian: a shocking ruling from a u.s. district judge in manhattan forcing new york city to put an end to a successful anticrime initiative or put a layer of supervision to stop and frisk. supporters say it helped bring down crime dramatically. is it a necessary evil to keep americans save? does it skirt the constitution? here to discuss this professor of constitutional law florida university, elizabeth price foley and the city of chicago treasurer stephanie nealy who write stop and frisk, a needed reality. elizabeth, where do you stand on this? >> i think the judge is overreaching.
3:25 am
it is kind of worst possible case of judicial activism. what he has essentially done is placed the entire nypd into receivership based on indirect racial profiling which doesn't exist as a theoretical matter and didn't exist on this particular record. >>brian: when you talk about what she's in support of and not in support of she doesn't take into account improvements and cites the impact theory of individual protection. is that something you would buy into, stephanie? >> i'm only concerned about getting guns off the streets. i think there is a huge difference between racial profiling and stop and frisk. my understanding on stop and frisk is you go into high-crime areas and get guns off the street. if you're in chicago and stop someone on michigan avenue where there is no crime, that is racial profiling. but i believe stop and frisk has been successful and i think the judge is
3:26 am
focused on implementation and not stop and frisk directly. >>brian: implementation of it in a way they say there's got to be a layer, i believe, elizabeth, there's got to be a layer now of supervision, almost an advocate for would-be criminals before they could actually go after somebody on the street, which could hinder the whole success, that stop and friskers had. >> that's right. this has never happened before in the history of this country. it looks like a -- let's make a couple of things clear. the judge based her decision on two constitutional provisions. one is the fourth amendment which prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures. the second is the 14th academy equal protection clause. let -- 14th amendment equal protection clause. stop and frisk has been held up as a constitutional measure since 1968. 1968 was the height of the warren court era, the most
3:27 am
liberal supreme court in this country's history. chief justice earl warren wrote the opinion for the court called terry vs. ohio in 1968 that upheld stop and frisk and he was joined by thurgood marshall, the first african-american to serve on the supreme court and an ardent civil rights supporter. there is absolutely nothing in terms of a 4th amendment violation for having a stop and frisk policy. in terms of the equal protection clause, let me say this, the judge based her entire equal protection decision, this indirect racial profiling conclusion, on statistical evidence. she must have missed that particular week in her constitutional law class because the supreme court has made abundantly clear since the 1970's that you can't have an equal protection violation based on statistical evidence like this alone. >>brian: look at these stats in terms of success, you cannot doubt what has happened in new york city. it is flatout a law enforcement miracle. murders are down 27%,
3:28 am
robberies down 8%, shooting incidents down almost 30%. look at what's happened in your city of chicago. you're a third of the size of new york and you have triple the murders. >> you know, i agree. that's why i was a proponent and still a believer in stop and frisk. in chicago we have black on black, brown on brown crime. the high-crime areas we need to get guns off the street. i believe this is an effective way. i do not want police officers abusing their power but i want guns off the street. when i wrote my op-ed, a lot of people disagreed with me saying we're targeting latino and african-american men but i said they are the one killing us. statistics do not lie. >>brian: a very reasonable argument. this gets kicked up to a higher court now. so far if the judge looks out her window since 1990 she can see the success in her area.
3:29 am

3:40 am
president obama might be run down by an angry bull. he said, quote -- this is not me -- i know i'm a clown. he is just running -- meaning obama -- around acting like one. doesn't know he is one. what ended up happening? that clown was banned for life from the missouri state fair for making those comments. and now some people are saying is that an overreaction? is that the right reaction. we're discussing it. >>brian: what he did as a rodeo clown, i'm not sure as a rodeo clown what your job description is, but to bring out your political views is a choice. but i think for a rodeo clown to get fired and banned for life as a reaction to what he said, i didn't know it is possible for someone to get banned for life from rodeo as a clown. >>gretchen: i guess from their state fair.
3:41 am
>>brian: banned for life. is that a little severe? he apologized. he said he shouldn't have said it. >>peter: a, is it wrong? b, is it too severe? should people be dressing up and making fun of the president at a state-sponsored fair? we understand private discourse. we understand people making statements. but at something sponsored by the state of missouri, should that be the arena, literally arena in which that kind of stuff goes on. >>gretchen: now the naacp wants eric holder, the attorney general, to investigate this clown. >>brian: you don't call him a clown. that's his job. >>gretchen: have to be doubly careful. peter, you're the lawyer on the couch. here's what i think is problematic in what he said. tell me if i'm right or wrong. when he says president obama might be run down by an angry bull, is the reason this is being taken
3:42 am
so seriously, because that seems to be a personal threat against the president? or is it innocuous? >>peter: the truth is whether we like the president's policies or dislike the president's policies, you can't have clowns going around state fairs dressing up like the president and talking about the president being gored by a bull. it sounds like there's a threat. i'm sure there is no threat he meant to convey but it sounds awful. it's stupid. we're going to hear, okay, this happened to bush, this happened to clinton, they said worse, this one said worse. i guess everybody said worse things about different presidents in the past, but did they say it at a state-sponsored event? and should we countenance that? should he be banned for life? don't ban anybody for life. we don't ban baseball players that are doing drugs and are horrible examples to children. so this idiot acting out in this way, in my view, okay, you can't go to the next rodeo. wear a happy clown mask next time and say nothing's

happening, everything is good. >>brian: a clown is -- that is a dangerous job and he could have gotten run over by a bull. >>peter: who? >>brian: the clown. >>gretchen: is it because he's a rodeo clown? >>peter: do -- >>brian: a bunch of things happened during the bush years. the comptroller here in new york said i would like to -- phrase this diplomatically, i would like to put a bullet between the eyes of the president. >>peter: what happened to him? he went to prison. >>brian: but not for that. erin burnette called the president a monkey, not good. president bush. >>peter: let's cut that stuff out. >>gretchen: let us know what you think about that. e-mail us or twitter us. >> coming up, researchers say if your labor is induced with pit 0 --

3:48 am
suggests babies born during induced or accelerated labor 23% more likely to be diagnosed with autism. why? the risk even higher for boys at a staggering 35%. they are already at a higher risk for autism by the way. as more women are opting for the quick labor procedure is it worth the risk? we're asking a clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at northwestern medical school. what is the correlation? it has to do with a hormone in a woman's body and a hormone in pitocin? >> the key word is correlation. the link to something is not the same thing as being caused by something. we know that there's a 20% risk higher of women having an autistic baby if they have been induced but we don't know if it's the oxytocin causing it. women make it naturally and
3:49 am
pitocin is the synthetic version sometimes given to induce labor. in this study every induced labor was not a pitocin labor. only 60% of women got pitocin. the real question is the fact that babies that need to get induced are more likely to get autism as opposed to the induction causing autism. >>gretchen: it's not always the case. it's sometimes doctors who want to go home for dinner, i hate to say it, and women who want to have their baby on a particular date. it's not always the case that the baby might be in trouble. what i found fascinating about the study was that women who have lower oxytocin have babies that have autism; right? there is a correlation there. >>peter: to their first point -- >>peter: to your first point there is a huge difference between a medical reason and a woman who says i want to have my
3:50 am
baby on wednesday. we need to look atta and the -- look at that and the study didn't. were the fathers older? we know older dads can be related to autism. we need to specifically try to pin down whether it is an oxytocin issue. it is what women see crete from their brain that causes them to contract. it is coralled with bonding, long-term relationships, so many issues with autistic kids. is this a problem in terms of the mother's oxytocin levels? we're looking at environment versus genetics. we have a baby exposed to the mother's hormone levels for nine months which may be more important than two or three hours. >>gretchen: induced labor has gone up dramatically. we might want to take a look at this from moms and from dads and from doctors. >> i think also for the

>> gretchen: good morning, everybody. hope you're gonna have a great wednesday. it's august 14. i'm gretchen carlson. thanks for sharing your time with us today. a fox news alert. 12-hostage stand-off at a louisiana bank over now. the gunman and one of the hostages are dead. we have the breaking details for you straight ahead. >> brian: the 13-year-old on the school bus will notten charged as an adult. it has many people outraged. what about their parents? should they be charged? we'll examine. >> peter: star moms fighting back to protect their kids. >> every day literally, every day there are as many as 15 cars of photographers waiting outside our home, large aggressive men swarm us. >> peter: is that what they signed up for or has it gotten out of control? we're going to report. you're going to decide here on "fox & friends" which starts right now.
4:01 am
>> brian: welcome back, everybody. here we are at the top of the hour. i said half hour ago there were 90 minutes left in the show. a lot of people thought they were late for work. it looks like i miscalculated. >> gretchen: he's been away for ten days. >> brian: i ended the show early. >> peter: let's get to that fox news alert. 12-hour hostage stand-off in louisiana ending with the gunman and one of the hostages dead. heather inaugurate has the breaking details. >> all this unfolding hours ago. police revealing what caused them to storm the building. the gunman, 20-year-old man, and he apparently told police negotiators he planned to kill his hostages. so at 1:00 a.m. eastern time today, they entered that bank, shooting and killing him as he held two people hostage.
4:02 am
they were employees of the bank. but as the swat team entered the building, the suspect shooting both hostages in the chest and one of them has now died. at this hour, the other is in critical condition at the hospital. authorities say that he initially walked into the bank yesterday around noon with a hand gun and a rifle, taking three employees captive. he eventually released one of them. in the meantime, we're learning new details about his possible motive. listen to this. >> he was mad at people. he was mad at people that he said were mean to him. he had voices in his head. >> authorities believe that he planned the entire thing. they found written notes and a book on hostage negotiation in his apartment. police also describing him as mentally unstable. we'll keep you posted on the other person who was held captive and ho is now in the hospital this morning. >> gretchen: thanks so much for that update. new violence in cairo at this
4:03 am
hour. egypt's military clashing with supporters overt ouster of morsi. the operation is still ongoing. three members of the security force reportedly dead. egyptian health official says nine protesters also dead. it's the latest round of turmoil since morsi was removed from power last month. tragic ending to the search for a missing federal investigator. police in california say a body found near a park is sandra koch. she disappeared august 4 after telling her daughter she was meeting someone who found her missing dog. koch's ex-boyfriend is a person of interest. he's a registered sex offender and charged with two murders in the '80s. they were seen together the night she disappeared. kidnapped teen-ager hannah anderson breaking her silence on-line. she posted this new picture of herself and answered questions about her horrifying ordeal. she revealed her kidnapper separated her and her mom and

[ applause ] >> gretchen: so all 16 will walk away with $3.8 million. that's after taxes. we're still waiting fort third powerball winner to come forward.
4:05 am
those are your headlines. >> brian: four minutes after the hour. remember that horrific beating we saw on the bus, people were saying what is the bus driver supposed to do and what about the 16-year-old beating up those other kids? should they be charged as adults? what about the parents? could the parents be culpable for their kids' behavior if there is a pattern of this type of behavior? >> gretchen: it turns out that the boys, it was announced they will be charged as juveniles. the judge reasoned that they did not have a criminal history, but we have peter johnson, jr. on the couch who i guess, would you agree with that, since there is no criminal history? >> peter: it's the discretion of the prosecutor to say yes, they can be charged as adults. these teen-agers could be charged as adults for these serious crimes. so that always raises a question when you see a severity of a beating like it that goes on for 64, 65 seconds, broken arm, black ice, pummeling the child who was actually under the bus seat at some point.
4:06 am
why were not felony adult charges brought? there has been haggling to what the punishment should be. probation, longer probation, and the like. the second issue, can the parents be charged? not unless they were aware of some proclivity or some past behavior with regard to these teen-agers beating up and robbing in the past. they could be charged with failure to supervise or something with regard to their duties as a parent. >> brian: look what happened in aurora and with gabrielle gabrie giffords. both the parents knew the child was unbalanced, but they were adults. they were in their 20s as opposed to 16-year-olds. >> peter: this is a test of our juvenile justice system and criminal justice system because america is looking to say, what happens after this? there has been no excuse, no defense proffered by the defense to why they did what they did
4:07 am
that was obvious and on tape. >> gretchen: i guess the excuse initially was they said that the kid who they beat up ratted on them. ratted on them for pot, for marijuana, i guess. >> peter: that's a real issue, too, that no one has looked at. this issue in certain communities in the united states where there is violence against people who snitch, people who go to the police and report unlawful activity. that's something that really has to be changed, the culture in this country that people will get their butts kicked and their arms broken in the sight of everyone on the bus, including the bus driver. i think that was a close call whether he was going to be charged or not in that state. >> gretchen: the question is why wasn't the bus driver charged? remember, you could hear him in the videotape saying, knock it off, knock it off, and he eventually did call the authorities. it's a fine line because we know in today's society, you got involved -- we've done story where is people who work in stores get involved in stopping robberies and murders in the store and they get fired because they're not supposed to have any action anymore.
4:08 am
>> peter: i spoke last week, we interviewed the chief of the police. he said they were not bringing charges. but brian, you know, this bus driver is in his mid 60s. he said the rules and regulations of that county district prevented him from doing something that would be unsafe towards everyone else on the bus and that he did call the police. it's also known, though, that he waited a really long time, according to one report before actually calling out for the boys to stop. >> brian: in practicality, you're the bus driver, you're 60 years old, but you know it's wrong to watch four guys beat up on four guys. you're watching it go on. are you really worried about a lawsuit? do you think with that video rolling that anyone would have prosecuted the bus driver for break up that beating and maybe preventing brain damage? >> peter: i think a lot of people had questions. what i would have done is i would have stepped in, at least i hope i would have stepped in, especially when that bus driver said this boy is getting beaten to death. if someone is getting beaten to
4:09 am
death, to heck with the lawsuit. step in. i think it's your obligation as a human being to protect life. >> brian: i think you would get a lot of pro bono legal counsel to help you out. >> gretchen: let's tell you about the situation in new york city that's now sparking interest in other cities. we're talking about the stop and frisk measure. a federal judge said you can't do it here. the police in new york city can't do it they can't stop suspicious activity and then frisk somebody to see if they're carrying a gun or drugs. meantime, people in chicago now, they're warning new york, expect bad stuff to start happening here as a result of not being able to do that. here is a quote from nathaniel pendleton. his daughter was killed after singing at the obama inauguration. she sang the national anthem and was killed the next week in chicago. he said if crime rates are down in new york, don't stop what you're doing. don't test the water. >> brian: right. so that's in his words.
4:10 am
in chicago, the third of the size of new york, new york is three times the size, there are 100 fewer murders in new york. in chicago, it's like the wild west out there in the urban climate. the stop and frisk has not been suspended. right now they're having a monitor step in and oversee. this guy has already been named and they're waiting to see what exactly he does before they actually do anything about it, before they get their appeal in place. here is the deal, mayor bloomberg goes to appeal this and he'll be out of office by the time the suit is put forward and all the democratic candidates on the stage last night for mayor, which are more likely a democrat to win, but who knows, they're all saying they will pursue this. >> peter: the likelihood the -- in my view, the murder rate in new york will skyrocket. the more that people are becoming aware of this, people in the white community, black community, brown community, people of all colors are saying that they are terrified as to
4:11 am
what effect this will have because they have seen the dramatic decrease in deaths and violence in new york city and dramatic decrease in the number of legal guns. that is a frightening prospect the way you laid it out because the democratic candidates are not going to go forward. >> brian: the anti-stop and frisk is supported by george soros group. >> gretchen: hollywood is taking on the paparrazzi. two a list actresses taking their fight to california state capitol in the name of their families. elizabeth prann is live in washington with the details. good morning. >> good morning. actresses halle barry and jennifer garner are appeal to go california lawmakers and asking for tough legislation that would change the definition of harassment and bring tougher penalties to paparrazzi who harass celebrities. specifically when it involves their children. the two testified tuesday before a california committee and at times it got very emotional. this is the second time barry has made an appearance at the state capitol on this matter. >> i fear and feel in fear for
4:12 am
my child who is in a car strapped up in her car seat. i'm doing my part as a parent. but at any moment, i feel like a crash could happen and her life, my life, other innocent passengers driving in their vehicles, paparrazzi swarm, large, aggressive men swarm us, causing a mob scene, yelling, jockeying for position, crowding around the kids while running over other parents and children unfortunate enough to be nearby, including one poor three-year-old who was knocked to the ground by one of our paparrazzi's cameras in front of our preschool. >> of course, two sides to every story. the cal of the broadcast association has responded to the issue, saying in part, it is the 21st century and everything is now on the table. other media groups have also said this would interfere with their news gathering. gretchen, back to you. >> gretchen: allall right. thanks so much. another benghazi bombshell. explosive new report that hundreds of missiles could have been stolen the night of that attack back in september. so could this be one of the reasons that the white house has been silent? colonel allen west joins us live

4:17 am
airliner. >> brian: that was the attorney for the benghazi whistle blowers who claims that the service to air missiles that were taken during the siege of the consulate in benghazi. so is that why the white house stayed so silent and what does this mean for u.s. security since the white house is silent, we'll speculate? joining us is florida congressman, lieutenant colonel allen west. he's the director of the next generation.tv and fox news contributor. your reaction to that report? >> i'm very concerned about all the events that surround the benghazi incident. but we have to ask the question, was this part of moammar gadhafi's stash or were these weapons that we had somehow supplied to the rebel forces there that we were trying to collect up? but i go back and recall senator rand paul's questioning of then secretary of state hillary clinton about proposal of arm shipments going out of libya through turkey, to the rebels in syria, which we now know is really al-qaeda affiliated in syria.
4:18 am
so we've got a lot of questions. this is why i believe we have to have that select committee to get to the bottom of these incidents. >> brian: but the select committee would shut down a congressional inquiry and it would go radio silent for about a year. >> well, i think the most important thing is what we call a unity command and unity of effort. right now we have had this investigation across five different committees in the house of representatives. we have not gotten anywhere. so if we have one focused committee with subpoena powers that can get the survivors from benghazi, get some of these c.i.a. agents and operatives, and i think you need to depose hillary clinton and bring her back and talk about why was ambassador chris stevens in benghazi on the 11th anniversary of september 11. >> brian: when she was asked by rand, i thought she was totally caught by surprise when he said, what about these missiles being diverted to the syrian rebels or to another location? she looked like rand paul was from another planet. what's worse, she was putting on an act or she didn't know?
4:19 am
>> well, either one, ignorance or imcompetence, neither are good. if combined, that's even worse. but there are a lot of questions. the president needs to tell us why his direct representative in a foreign country was in benghazi. hillary clinton needs to come clean about why was the ambassador there. then we need to also understand who gave the stand down order because that's not who we are. we do not leave two navy seals fighting vigorously. we turned our backs on them. this whole thing about these surface to air missiles, if they end up in the wrong hands could be another lockerbie incident, what have you. but this really does make iran-contra look like child's play. >> brian: i will say this, you're the military expert. but why would you need service to air missiles when you're employing a no fly zone against rebels? it doesn't make any sense unless they were put there, as you said, from something that the libyan -- former libyan government had in play and we remember these statements, we
4:20 am
lost a treasure trove of intelligence from that annex when it was ransacked. >> you're absolutely right. again, that's what we have to get to the bottom of. where did these surface to air missiles come from? were they part of gadhafi's stash or somehow were we trying to funnel weapons through libya to turkey, into syria. >> brian: wow. always good to see you. thanks so much. >> thanks. >> brian: 20 minutes after the hour. up next on our show, the story is disturbing. a complete stranger hacked into a baby monitor and started calling out for the child. sounds like science fiction, but it can happen to you. and coming to a theater near you -- >> here we are in albuquerque and guess what? i arrive on the set of the movie and stunned to find out i have my own trailer. this is so cool. i'm going to go inside to freshen up. >> brian: so what's easier, anchoring or acting? gretchen carlson takes us behind the scenes of her big screen movie debut [ male announcer ] running out of steam?

>> gretchen: let's talk about lois lerner. she was a supervisor with the irs who has come under scrutiny with regard to targeting the tea party and giving them 501 c 4 status, or lack thereof. she's been on paid administrative leave. now her personal e-mail coming into question. an account called lois home, msn.com account. was she doing work business on her personal e-mails since 2008 and are members of congress entitled to see those e-mails? >> brian: somebody tipped them off, obviously, because lois lerner, who is getting paid not to work right now has now darrell issa saying send me all your personal e-mails. so there has got to be something there. my question is, peter, does she have to give -- this is the woman who gave us the fifth amendment. i'm innocent. she got away with that. >> peter: at this point, i don't know what the strategy is. it may be shut down on congress all the way. i've taken the fifth. i'm not giving anything else. i'm going to try and quash the subpoena or negotiate it, or i don't have anything that's

responsive that you want. it's all personal. she is in a world of pain and in a world of trouble. we don't know what's going to happen in the end, but between the federal election commission, the irs and now let's look at her personal e-mails, they must have some personal e-mails that gives them a reasonable basis to get them. >> brian: she's going to sit on the side line and have her lawyers fight it out. it will take another year. >> gretchen: isn't it different than taking the fifth? couldn't a subpoena actually guarantee that those e-mails come? >> peter: a congressional subpoena needs to be honored. if someone says give me these documents, they may, in fact, incriminate you, but you're not incriminating yourself. >> brian: if he doesn't, do you against a sensor of congress? >> peter: you get a contempt. the obama administration is used to that. doesn't matter. >> gretchen: i guess it raises the level of suspicion because any time you go to your private e-mail to do work business, first of all, it's probably illegal or not advised. and second of all, just raises
4:37 am
suspicion that you couldn't use the company e-mail to discuss company business. >> peter: they probably have guidelines for a lot of reasons. confidentiality and government business not become part of someone's personal files. the inferences, the implication is that you're doing something the government doesn't want to be seen. >> brian: lois, cough them up and we'll see what's in there. call rove says this whole scandal not going away. in fact, it will grow. >> this did not happen because of people at the bottom of the food chain. we know that this goes all the way up to the office of general counsel. there are two people in the irs out of 60,000 who were appointed by the president. one is the general counsel of the irs and we now know his office was involved in personally taking away from nearly 50-year career employee of the irs some of these applications in order to take them inside the counsel's office. so we know a lot more today than we knew before. i talked to members of congress who are involved in this

4:42 am
blackmore. then within two years, pelet was there. what was he like? he gave a speech at the first game, right? >> it was fantastic. we had the privilege to have a lunch with him a couple weeks prior to the opener and just a classy guy. he's a legendary icon, bigger than the sport, some argue. very inspiring. >> brian: i know you're way past your prime. are you 30? >> 31. >> brian: how about you two take on the three of us as we go out to break? the cosmos have a home game when? >> this saturday -- next saturday, i'm sorry. >> brian: next saturday. >> we're at home in san antonio. >> brian: i know he's past his prime. >> am i taking on everyone? >> brian: you're going to goal. >> three on two. >> brian: almost! maria is in high heels. run.

4:47 am
who? (sighs) geico. fifteen minutes could save you...well, you know. >> peter: it's just the latest of a series of delays by the president on obamacare. now the limit on out of pocket costs pushed off another year. look at this, for a family, the cost was supposed to be capped at $12,700. but with the delay, actual premiums for families will be closer to $16,000. joining me now is betsy mccoy, former lieutenant governor of the state of new york and author of a great book "beating obamacare." your handbook for surviving the new health care law. who is getting hurt by this? are these victimless crimes? should the government be getting away with this? is this constitutional? >> i'm glad you raise those questions. first of all, all these recent changes in obamacare are not unconstitutional. the president is hacking away at the constitution.
4:48 am
article 2, section 3 says that the president will execute the laws. it doesn't give him the power to change the laws, to delay the laws -- >> peter: they delayed the employer mandate. now they're telling americans that the caps they were going to be -- out of pocket cost will not go into effect for another year. this is a delaying relief for people who have serious and chronic illnesses, cancer, diabetes and other illnesses. let me explain why these are not victimless crimes. in this case, the winners are healthy people who will pay a slightly lower premium. because there is no cap on out of pocket costs, this will limit how much premiums spike this year and may be why the administration made this last-minute change. but the fact is, seriously ill people will face huge costs that otherwise this law would have forgetted them from. the employer mandate, also is not a victimless crime. it relieves employers of a mandate for a year, but there
4:49 am
are 10 million currently uninsured or underinsured workers whose employers would have been affected by the mandate and now these workers will have to go to the exchanges and pay out of pocket for coverage and taxpayers will have to subsidize that coverage as well. it will add about 10% to the cost of obamacare next year alone for taxpayers. >> peter: we have politics. we have imcompetence and what else? >> let me make the point, of all these last-minute changes, the most serious, the most damaging is how the president connived to allow members of congress to get a subsidy to pay for their health plans on the exchanges, a subsidy no other american -- >> peter: outrageous. everything for them. good to see you. great book. does your nine-year-old still sleep with stuffed animals? if so, is that normal or nuts? dr. keith ablow's diagnosis is coming up next. but first on this date in 1979,

next hour. until then, gretch. >> dream about my ex. >> am i normal or nuts? >> gretchen: that's a new graphic, brian. did you notice? >> brian: those were all my voices i hear in my head. >> gretchen: me, too. who is normal and who is nuts? it's a question we all ask ourselves frequently. it's a question dr. keith ablow answers us every week and he joins us from boston. you would not want brian and i on the couch together. i can tell you that. how are you? >> it would be a busy day. i'm fine. i'm fine. i'm preparing for that kind of day. >> gretchen: all right. let's take a look at our first viewer e-mail. i have a severe aversion to velvet and any sort of fabric on fabric. i hate the feel of fabrics that are not silky smooth. i can't wear socks on carpet. i don't even have to touch velvet to get freaked out. i just look at it or think about it. normal or nuts? >> this just isn't normal. it just isn't. it's nutty.
4:55 am
the reason is that basically this person is describing symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder, maybe some related sensory issues that can be attached to that. so i would say this about it, you can get psycho therapy. there are medicines that help. but the doctor says this: how about avoiding velvet and going barefoot at home? that way you don't pay the therapist, you don't come to my office and presumably all is well. >> gretchen: all right. as long as it's just velvet. let's move on to this e-mail. my nine-year-old daughter still sleeps with stuffed animals. at night she acts like she's four. during the day she acts like she's 14. all right. as a parent of a ten-year-old, i think i know what you're going to say, but surprise me maybe. >> i'm going to say it's normal. >> gretchen: yeah. >> here is the thing, a nine-year-old is still a tender age. she's acting you say like she's four at night. is that so bad because you'll be in college before you turn your head around.
4:56 am
>> gretchen: exactly. >> look, stuffed animals, they're better than facebook. so if she's hugging a stuffed animal and not on her ipad looking at facebook, that's a win. >> gretchen: fantastic advice. here is the last e-mail. my neighbor has a perfectly manicured lawn and every day i see her pick up every petal that fell overnight. if there is something not to pick up, she'll gently shake a bush and get hanging petals to fly. i never saw anything lying on her grass longer than a few hours. this is somebody who is wondering if her neighbor is normal or nutso? >> your neighbor is not normal. she's nuts! you live next to somebody a little crazy. this is the textbook definition of obsessive compulsive disorder. this woman believes that if there are no leaves on her lawn, all is well. but here is the psychiatric reality, that won't fix what's really troubling her. there is something messy in her life that she thinks if she gets a leaf blower, she can blow all her problems away. well, you can't and my guess is if you talk to that woman's
4:57 am
kids, you would find out they've been messed up by her not attending to her real problems. >> gretchen: oh, oh okay. thanks for that analogy. i like it. >> the doctor is in. >> gretchen: we'll see you soon. thanks. new video in of a plane crash in alabama. breaking details, top of the hour, right back my name is paul ridley.

place. now we find out the boys will be charged. but the question is as juveniles or adults? it will not be as adults. they will not be -- neither will their parents be charged. neither one of those areas, peter, does it surprise you? >> peter: it's the prosecutor's discretion to charge as an adult or as a juvenile. they could have been charged as an adult and faced adult time. now they're in the juvenile justice system. as to the parents, unless the parents knew that these children, these teen-agers had some propensity or some past history about doing this kind of stuff, robberies, assault, aggravated assault on people, they can not be charged. what's probable probably going to happen is these teen-agers will get probation and that will create a lot of controversy in this country about a 60-seconds beating that involved a broken arm. should these teen-agers be doing some form of incarceration? the other side of this, apparently have no criminal

history in the past. >> gretchen: they're 15 years old. it would be -- i understand when teens commit murder that then there is certainly -- the prosecutor usually has discretion to think about charging them as an adult. but have you by chance researched other cases to see in aggravated assaults like this what the chances are? is it unusual for a prosecutor not to charge as adult? seems to me it would be usual to charge as a juvenile. >> peter: it is a matter of discretion, but it is based upon the severity of the crime that's being seen, any aggravating factors that would be involved, and also in terms of public interest. what kind of message does the prosecutor want to send to the public and the people in the state of florida about how they respond to this kind of beating. >> brian: when they turn 18, this is all expunged, right? >> peter: effectively. the names have been out there. the family names have been out there. how do you expunge this once it's in the public eye?
5:07 am
effectively no. ordinarily, yes. >> brian: the parents are not charged because there is no pattern of behavior. if there was a pattern of behavior and the kids -- >> peter: no one has said they've done anything wrong. one of the parents is very apologetic about what's going on here. >> gretchen: hopefully it will be a lesson learned and maybe a life changing event for them. >> peter: i hope so. >> gretchen: in the meantime, hollywood takes on the paparrazzi. two a list actresses taking their fight to california state capitol in the names of their families. elizabeth prann is live with the details. good morning, elizabeth. >> good morning. gretchen. at times it was very emotional for those two actresses, halle barry and jennifer began railroad asking california lawmakers to expand the definition of ha hasment to -- harassment to include photographing of children. they're seek tougher penalties, noting personal cases of a custody battle and a stalking case the two women faced respectively. the women testified before a california committee just on
5:08 am
tuesday. >> so i fear and feel in fear for my child who is in a car strapped up in her car seat. i'm doing my part as a parent, but at any moment, i feel like a crash could happen and her life, my life, other innocent passengers, driving in their vehicles, paparrazzi swarm, large aggressive men swarm us, causing a mob scene, yelling, jockeying for position, crowding around the kids while running over other parents and children unfortunate enough to be nearby, including one poor three-year-old who was knocked to the ground by one of our paparrazzi's cameras in front of our preschool. >> as you can imagine, we have heard from some media groups who said that this would interfere with their news gathering. in fact, the president of the california broadcasters association has responded to this issue, saying in part it is 21st century and everything is on the table now. it heads to the appropriations committee for a review. back to you. >> gretchen: all right. thanks much. >> brian: politicians, their kids are protected in many
5:09 am
cases. why not hollywood actors and actresses? here is what you're saying, we asked to you weigh in. mary beth did, she's one of the many, says dear hally and jennifer, did you think getting paid millions of dollars to play dress-up for a living -- i'm sorry to insult your industry -- with no down side? that's true. i mean, you can't try to be famous your whole life, get millions of dollars and say i want to be famous. i think they're really going to bat for their kids. >> gretchen: totally. i think they expect it for themselves. i think if anything happens to their kids -- >> peter: is that something congress should be doing? holding pity parties for hollywood celebrityies? >> gretchen: let's talk about what's going on in missouri at the state fair. there was a rodeo clown who got himself in difficulty. this gentleman right here apparently -- >> brian: this is the most controversial rodeo clown story we've covered. >> peter: yeah, it is. >> gretchen: okay. so he apparently put on a mask,
5:10 am
a clown mask and he suggested that president obama might be, a quote, might be run down by an angry bull, continuing the quote, hey, i know i'm a clown, he, obama, is just running around acting like one, doesn't know he is one. he's been banned for life from the missouri state fair. some folks are upset about that because they said, presidents have been fodder for jokes before and nothing happened to those people. >> peter: he's apologized in a facebook post. he said never meant, quote, to offend or hurt anyone's feelings, but the naacp, the missouri chapter has called for the secret service and the department of justice to investigate what they call an incendiary event at the missouri state fair. they're saying that he should be the subject of a criminal investigation, one misunderstood rodeo clown. >> gretchen: they say the activities incite violence
5:11 am
against the president. i against it's the line where he said might be run down by anne angry bull. you could interpret that as being a personal kind of a threat. but dana lash, she is on the other side of the fence, she tweeted this. this is the same naacp who called a black man beaten by an sieu an uncle tom on tape. what do you think about it? i think we asked people for e-mails. >> brian: a lot of people saying during what president bush's time, look what bill maher and others said about him. lesley writes from florida and says any american sure the right to mock the president. he isn't our king or emperor. >> gretchen: her she will said, when did it become such a big deal to joke about the president? it's been going on throughout our history. really? investigate the clown? >> peter: and if it had been a clown with a bush or reagan mask, nobody would have said a word about it, according to dennis in ohio. charles from oklahoma, i think we should respect the office of
5:12 am
the president whether we voted for him or not. >> gretchen: all right. that -- it's a controversial story. i think we'll have comments. >> brian: we know one thing, like it or not, there is a clown at a kinko's right now writing up a resume hoping to get another job. >> peter: and he's been banned. should he come back? he apologized. should he be allowed back? >> gretchen: i think states. he's not allowed in missouri. coming up, they built a ramp for their daughter who can't walk. she has cerebral palsy. because neighbor says it has to go because it devalues the neighborhood. the girl's parents here with their fight coming up next. >> peter: and no wings for you. coming up, the one person, hooters is refusing to serve. find out with us so then the little tiny chipmunks go all the way up...

i just fear knowing her as i did, that she will do it again. >> gretchen: andy, it's a case of a statute called a mandatory supervision law first enacted in the '70s, right? and only in the state of texas. >> that's correct. let me make this perfectly clear, there is no might be, could be or perhaps. she will be the first serial killer in this country's history to be legally released sometime around a year 2017 unless we can find another case out there to subsequently charge her and get convicted of. when you think about it, she'll have served less than one year for every infant that she's generally credited with murdering. it's unheard of. it's never happened before. she's probably one of the nation's most prolific serial killers no one has ever heardle. >> gretchen: you say it will take a miracle to keep her in jail. but really all you need is evidence, that somebody else comes forward, maybe seeing this
5:47 am
right now thinking something may have happened to their child as a result of her actions and if you can open a case, then you can keep her in prison if she's convicted of that? >> absolutely. she would have to go through another trial. it wouldn't have anything to do with what she's been charged with and sentenced for chelsea. so it would be a brand-new trial on another child and so that's it. getting some of the parents that have lived all these years not knowing if their child died from natural causes or if she had contributed to their death during that time frame, that's the people we need to talk to. that's the ones that need to come forward and we start from the scratch and work our way up from there. >> gretchen: andy, how difficult is it, because it's my understanding the hospital where this happened that they destroyed the records because of public embarrassment. is that true? >> yeah. it sounds simplistic in nature. let's go find another case, charge her and convict her. but most of the records were destroyed.
5:48 am
there were so many different types of cover-ups to keep administrations from being held liable. so our quest basically is to keep this storm from landing. it was going to wreck carnage on humanity. we have successfully done this before of the there was another serial killer in texas whom we did the same type of campaign we're doing right now and we did find a case. so we're hoping lightning strikes twice. >> gretchen: for you, you actually were holding your child in your arms when the injection came from this woman. you thought it was an immunization, right, and it ended up killing her and she did it again in the ambulance? >> yes. yes. i was holding her. i knew immediately that something was wrong 'cause my son, he was four at the time, i had gone through immunizations with him and chelsea was 15 months old, so she had immunizations. so her reaction to it, the first injection she got was i knew something was wrong and jones,
5:49 am
when i said something, jones replied was, well, she's just mad 'cause she got a shot. so she gave her another one in her other thigh and by that time, she was already struggling to breathe. the drugs she used is a very powerful drug. >> gretchen: we're hoping that by exposing this story and letting people know on a national basis and international, that they're look for other cases that other people may come forward. thanks for your time this morning. >> thank you. >> gretchen: coming up, most kids go to camp for the summer, but this kid mowed lawns. 906 -- 90 of them. 16,000 bucks. but he's not keeping a single cent. wait until you hear why coming up next. first, let's check in with martha for what's coming up at the top of the hour. >> good morning to you. we have breaking news right now coming out of alabama this morning. a ups plane goes down in flames. we've got a live report from the scene. we'll bring you that.

>> gretchen: the images are unforgettable. earlier this year, moore, oklahoma, struck by a category 4 tornado. homes flattened, thousands left to pick up the pieces. >> brian: to help them out, one young boy who lives more than 300 miles away is making lawn mowing his mission. he has raised a remarkable $16,000 to help those who lost so much. >> peter: joining us is 11-year-old dillen and his mom,
5:54 am
kristy. good morning. >> good morning. >> peter: why did you do this? whose idea was this? >> it was my idea to mow for the 20 and it started to grow. >> peter: wow. that's so cool. and you raised how much? >> he raised $6,000 and then a company in oklahoma gave another $10,000 to the family on his behalf. >> brian: why was it important for to you show him what happened? >> when he told us that he wanted to mow for moore, it became important for me to let him see what he was mowing for, you know. he had a vision in his head of wow, those people lost everything, but i didn't think until he seen it firsthand he would truly know what he was mowing for, you know. >> gretchen: i think it's such a altruistic child inside, when they develop this so young, you know you'll be a good person when you grow up.

what was the reaction from your friends when you said you were basically working for free? >> they said nothing. they just kept riding their bike.

[ laughter ] >> brian: the money going for the right cause? >> uh-huh. >> brian: how many lawns did you mow? >> 87 (87 lawns. what were the people's reaction when you told them what you were doing with the money after you got the job? >> they said good job or here is extra money for the good cause. >> peter: when you were doing in that 104-degree weather, what were you thinking? if i do another one, it will help another kid just like me, or it's going to help some older
5:56 am
woman or some family that needs help? what were you thinking to motivate yourself to keep doing this? >> actually the one thing that was in my mind was the family i adopted. >> peter: you adopted a family. you said, i'm going to help these specific folks, even though i don't really know them. >> gretchen: right when we come back, i want you to tell me the reaction when you gave the money to that family. we'll be right back. littlen and kristy -- dylan and kristy right back.
